PA3762 Parker 61/65 Flighter Deluxe Pencil

PA3762 Parker 61/65 Flighter Deluxe Pencil

Date: c1960s

Size: Length - 122mm.

This very attractive all all-frosted steel Flighter pencil would have been paired with a Parker 61 or 65 fountain pen, or sold in its own.   I can't see anything wrong with this one. The frosting is lovely and soft with no noticeable scratches or other imperfections and no dings.  The cap has a very nice clear grey to "jewel" with a rolled gold Parker arrow pocket clip.  The cap lip is imprinted "Parker" to the front and "MADE IN ENGLAND" to the rear with the Parker arrow and halo trademark above.  The cap pulls off, and the original pink eraser is still there and apparently unused.  Below is a space to store spare 0.9mm leads.  The point is also rolled gold.  This is a propel-repel pencil and works very smoothly by twisting the cap.  I have fitted a fresh 0.9mm lead into the mechanism so it is all ready to go.    

I have fully serviced this pencil; it is actually the first 61 flighter pencil I have ever had on the website, and this is a lovely example.
